Following a private preview party on Friday night, Travel & Leisure's Global Bazaar opened to the public on Saturday, bringing about 5,000 consumers to the Park Avenue Armory for an art, crafts, food, and entertainment fair.

In keeping with the spirit of a market, visitors to the bazaar were given traditional Brazilian wish bracelets, colorful ribbons tied around the wrist and emblazoned with the phrase "Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia."

Turismo Chile's attraction had multiple components. Not only did the Chilean tourism organization bring in the same type of pod that was used to rescue the trapped miners last year, but it also allowed anyone who made a donation to the Happy Hearts Fund to step into the contraption and have their photo taken.

Green & Black's also used iPads to engage visitors to its booth. The program on the touch-screen tablet was a personality quiz that, once completed, provided the user with a selection of chocolate products suited to their disposition and tastes.

Chefs were also a part of the attractions at the Global Bazaar. Friday night saw Marcus Samuelsson, José Andrés, Masaharu Morimoto, Scott Conant, and Daniel Boulud showcase their dishes at the private preview party, while other toques, including Marc Forgione, made appearances during the public event.

Infiniti, which brought in Marc Forgione on Saturday afternoon, also drew attendees with a sweepstakes competition, winners of which will receive a two-night getaway to New York, San Francisco, or Miami.

Boeing's display to highlight its Dreamliner looked more like an art installation, showcasing a scaled-down version of the futuristic aircraft amid crates and a curving flight path. The area also had an interactive touch-screen display designed to give attendees a virtual experience.

As a smart and eye-catching way to integrate its brand into the overall decor, presenting sponsor Delta Air Lines had a departures-board-style display that hung from the ceiling and listed the day's activities.
